Keep developers in flow.
It’s not just a mantra here at Coder.
It’s the mission that guides the company. And it’s the reason
we’re releasing a new version of our software. Let me explain.

Coder provides cloud development environments (CDE). What does that mean? According to Gartner: “CDEs provide remote, ready-to-use access to a cloud-hosted development environment with minimal effort for setup and configuration. This decoupling of the development workspace from the physical workstation enables a low-friction, consistent developer experience. CDEs comprise elements of a traditional Integrated Developer Environment (IDE), such as code editing, debugging, code review and code collaboration. They increasingly include ML-based coding assistants and integrate with DevOps platforms". Gartner predicts that, “by 2026, 60% of cloud workloads will be built and deployed using CDEs".
We know that CDEs are not only a critical component, but they’re the future of development.
But there’s a catch.
Most CDEs are SaaS — and that’s a problem.
Why?
Because CDE are still an early adopt technology. That means most organizations adopting CDEs are sophisticated software development shops. For these organizations, software is critical to their digital transformation. And that means their software developers are core to their business strategy. These early adopters tend to fall in one of two profiles:
Digital-native organizations. Born in the cloud? If so, you’re a digital-native organization. You probably offer a SaaS or digital experience, like Netflix or Uber. Software is core to your business strategy, and developers are the kings and queens of your value generation. You invest heavily in acquiring the best developer talent. Better developers leads to competitive advantage. But let’s be honest. You need all the nerd knobs. You’re already developing in the cloud, but with an expensive homegrown cloud development solution that requires five or more full-time employees to mange it. You can’t rely on an overly opinionated SaaS offering that dictates your IDEs, infrastructure, or CI/CD integrations. You need flexibility. You need a deployable CDE solution that gets your developers onboarded and coding on day one.
Digital-forward organizations. You’ve stood the test of time and offer the best manufacturing, financial services, retail, or utilities offering in your market. You aspire to be digital-native, but you’re encumbered with a legacy architecture. And regulations. Oh, the regulations. Your developers lead the charge in your digital transformation, but you can’t expose the company to undue risk. SaaS won’t cut it. You need a CDE that you can deploy and configure in your private, public, or multicloud environment. SaaS solutions don’t meet regulatory requirements and certainly can’t work in air-gapped environments. In fact, chances are you’re repatriating apps as you read this. You need a solution that provides SaaS-like ease of use, but the governance and portability of software.
Coder offers a self-hosted cloud development environment (CDE). We’re deployed at some of the largest, most advanced companies in the world. Digital native? Coder customers serve a combined 1.6 billion SaaS users. Digital-forward? In financial services alone, Coder customers control $22.8 trillion in assets under management, roughly the same as the United States' GDP.
Coder has developed a CDE solution that balances the flexibility of deployable software with the ease-of-use of SaaS. We’ve worked hard to meet early adopters where they are: With a solution that enables developers to shift from local workstations to cloud-based workspaces. The capabilities we’re announcing today further this goal.
Specifically, we’re announcing Coder 2.0 — the second major release of our cloud development environment. The new capabilities in Coder 2.0 are available in our open source software. In our most significant release, we:
Coder 2.0 is available on September 27, 2023. Several of the capabilities are already available in our open source software today. To get started, you can:
Today marks a significant milestone in Coder’s journey. Coder 2.0 is a self-hosted software solution that leads the market for cloud development environment solutions. But we’re just getting started.
Moving forward, you can expect Coder to focus on systematically removing obstacles that thwart developer productivity. Developer onboarding taking too long? Build times too slow? AI code assistance too difficult? We’ve got you back. After all, developers are some of the most critical — and expensive — assets in the digital era. That’s way we’re laser focused on providing a fantastic developer experience by keeping your developers productive.
Coder has arrived. We’re a new player in the developer experience market.
Trust Coder to keep your developers in flow.
